Bear is a stunning 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute with a heart as big as his fluffy coat! This handsome boy was lovingly surrendered to us after his previous family discovered that life with cats just wasn't the right fit-but they shared that he did wonderfully with their children and another dog.

True to his breed, Bear is intelligent, loyal, and full of personality. He loves being part of the family and enjoys playtime, walks, and plenty of attention from his people. He'd thrive in a home that can give him space to stretch his legs, structure to keep his smart mind busy, and lots of love.

If you're looking for a friendly, devoted companion who's ready to be your adventure buddy (and your snuggle buddy, too), Bear is ready to meet you!

Please do your breed research before applying to adopt. Huskies and Husky mixes are very special dogs with unique requirements. They often have the inclination to roam and can be great escape artists. Huskies need to be active and do best with adopters that can help them burn extra energy with fun training. They can have strong prey drives, and while every dog is different, many huskies will chase cats and livestock. Grooming is also an important part of their routine, brushing them several times a week can help prevent their undercoat from matting and keep them looking their best. Huskies are a fun, active breed that many have fallen in love with over the years, but please keep their breed needs in mind when considering adding one to your household.
